Withdrawal of Gov. McEnery.
mo. Picayune.l

IT is said on the street that the |
friends of Governor McEnery will
induce him shortly to deliver q
valedictory-to retire from the con-
test for the prolongation OF his
tenure of the chief executive power
for the extraordinary period OF
eleven and half years upon the
ground that the unity and harmony
Of the Democratic party require
such a sacrifice, and that the well
fare of the party is above his per-
sonal ambition.
This would be q sad mistake on
the part of the goyernor-a con-
fession before the people that he
had been influenced by personal
considerations, and that it had
been demonstrated that the people
had rejected him.
But this action would be based
upon an entire misapprehension OF
the struggle that has been made by
the people Of this State, and made
successfully. 1t has not been a
movement directed against Gov
ernor McEnery personally nor for
Governor Nichols personally.

"ooKE. LIT Us REAsoN.

Consider the following reasons in ia
vor of voting the bonds very carefully
before making up your mind to cast
your ballot against either proposition:
It is good business investment.
It will reduce taxation.
The new roads will secure competi-
ton.
1t will reduce the cost of living.
1t will enable rs to develop.
1t will open market for all we have
to sell.
1t will give employment to the needy.
1t will leave 500, 600 paid out for la
Dor and supplies, in our county.
1t will connect us with the coal fields
of Colorado, the lumber markets of
Chicago, the large grain consuming
territory of the Pan Handle and the
manufacturing markets of the world.
With railroads come immigration
capital, progress and prosperity. Stop
them and we cut off our revenue.
Railroads are as necessary as good
lands, schools or churches. The Amer
lean public demand them all and will
not invest without them.
Railroads bring us in direct contact
with the capital of the east.
Railroads build up taxable wealth by
creating markets in our own county in
stead of paying out profits into the
markets of other counties for them tc
derive benefit from thus causing US tt
pay more than the amount of the bond!
in indirect taxation.
1t is the one great opportunity in thu
| history of our county to make lOnJ
stride toward permanent prosperity.

THE RIGHT or FOREIGN-B0RN
WOMEN 70 VOTE.

Under the above statue and the con-
struction placed upon it by the supreme
court of the United States, there can
be no question about the rights Of the
wife of any naturalized citizen to vote.
And they are not required to take ont
naturalization papers, as their citizen
ship follows that of their husbands.
The question as to whether the wife
of foreign-born citizen who may have
been natufalized has a right to vote
under the municipal suffrage bill, is
one that is frequently asked. In order
that all interested in this question may
/ be informed upon the law, we quote
the United States statute upon that
subject.
of the United States, passed by con-
gress February 10, 1855, and still in
| force, is in the following words:
Sec. ,l04. Any woman who is now,
or may hereafter be married to citi-
zen Of the United States, and who
might herself be lawfully naturalized
shall be deemed citizen.
This statute has been construed by
the supreme court Of the United States
in the case of Kelly VS.. Owen, Wall
1876. In this case the supreme court
said:
AS we eenstrue this act, it confers
| the privileges of citizenship upon WON
en- married to citizens of the United
States, If they are the class of persons
for whose naturalization the previous
acts of congress provides. The terms
married, +" or who shall be married, ,
do not refor. in our judgment
/ to the time when the ceremony Of
marriage is celebrated, but to state
of marriage. They mean that
| whenever a woman who, under
previous acts, might be naturalized
is in state of marriage to a citizen
whether his citizenship existed at the
| passage of the act or subsequently, OF
before or after the marriage, she be
comes, by that fact, citizen also. His
! citizenship, whenever it exists, confers
under the act, citizenship upon her
The construction which would restrict
the act to women whose husband, al
the time of marriage, are citizens
would exclude far the greater number,
for whose benefit, as we think, the act
was intended. Its object, in our opin-
ion, was to allow citizenship to follow
that Of her husband, without the ne.
cessity of any application for natural
ization on her part; and, If this was the
| object, there is no reason for the re.
strictiOn suggested.

Death OH. n. KeebIer

To-day telegram was received by
]. s. Kenyon, announcing the death OF
FL. Fl. Keebler at Westbrook, Califor-
MIA, at II o'clock Thursday, of lung
trouble.
Mr.. Keebler came to Emporia last
fall from ColIinsville, Illinois, for the
benefit of his health, and purchased
the Button property and moved in with
his family. However, the ehangeable
nature of the winter weather here had
bad effect on his lungs, and he left
for California to spend the winter and
spring. A few months ago he sent fol
his family to come, and they were max
ing the necessary preparation to dis
pose of their property here when the
sad news of Mr.. Keebler's death
reached them.
Mrs. Keebler left Friday evening fol
California, where she will take charge
of the remains, which will be shipped
to ColIinsyille. Illinois.

But we predict that this wiz all be

ter the bond election next week. when
we prophesy such a stir and boom as

that will then blow. Men may figure
as they may, but just SO soon as it is a
settled fact that Lyon county is to have

lines of railway are the only
hope of our farmers and stocl
raisers, and every additional railroad
puts our products just so much closer
to the great markets of the world.

THE Missouri legislature is becoming
somewhat awakened at last. It has
passed Sunday law which viii have
the effect at least of closing the front
doors of saloons on the Sabbath. 1t
has also passed local option law,
which, if signed by the governor, viii
give the liquor traffic into the hands OF
the people, and it viii then remain
with every political district coming un-
der its provisions to decide whether
they will have saloons or prohibition.
Under all the circumstances this is
quite satisfactory solution of the
question for the present in Missouri.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from proprietary medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers Especially is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and Boschee's German Syrup.
as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the 80 cents size
The August Flower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advan.
tage of increased size of the bottles

with PAIN b the sad cry Of many victim
of rheumatism or neuralgia, and frequently
ether diseases, such as kidney and liver
complaints, are directly traceable to rheu-
nstfsm or neuralgia. These diseases for
some unexplainable reason, are rapidly in-
creasing, and In many instances are the
direct cause of much sickness which 90
hides Its real origin as TO be mistaken for
other diseases. In curing rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, sick headache, and in many cases Of
kidney and liver troubles, Athlophoros has
wrought wonders. Those who have used
it are best qualified to speak of Its merit.

"About two years ago, my danghter-ln-iaW

tisun, She could not turn herself in bed.
I sent her one bottle of Athlophoros, and
by the time one-half was used she was free
from all pain, and has had no return of the
trouble since. It has also been Of great
benefit to my wife for neuralgia"
Henry Martin, Muscatine, Iowa, says /:
az did have rheumatism very badly until
I used AthIophoros, which has completely
cured me. For several years there would
be certain times that i could invariably
look for severe attack of rheumatism,
which would confne me to the house for .
week at a time. ] was suffering from q
very severe attack in my arms and had

bad women vote our politics viii be

vote if they would save US from worse
disgrace. They cannot escape the. re-

provide punishment therefor" was
passed during the recent session of the
Legislature, and published in the of
fetal State paper on the 18th inst. 1t
| is, therefore, now the law of the State.
1t will put an end to the fraud of print
ing tickets headed Republican" or
| democratic, which are not what
their heading indicates-that is, So
called ''split tickets" Voters can, of
course, scratch off the name of any

of spurious tickets, are at an end. The
law is as follows:
SECTION 1.-When at any general

ignated heading, contains printed or
pasted thereon in place of another, a

fraud, and the ballot shall not be
counted for the name so found. nor
shall any person distribute tickets or
remain standing within fifty feet of the
polls during the hours that the polls
are open.
Sec. Z. ANY person. pTIuGlnS OF CauS-
ing to be printed or pasted ballots with
designated heading containing
name or names not found on the
regular ballot having such
heading, or which OmitS any
name found on such regular ticket, or
any person knowingly peddling or dis
tributing, or causing to be distributed,
any such ballot with intent to have
such ballot voted at any such election,
shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and shall, on conviction
thereof, on each offense be fined in any.
sum not less than twenty-five nor more
than two hundred dollars, or be impris-
oned in the county Jail not exceeding
sixty days.
Sec. 8. Whoever furnishes an cleo
tor who cannot read, with a ticket in
forming him that it contains name
different from those written or printed
thereon, with the intention TO induce
him to vote contrary to his inclination,
or fraudulentIy or deceitfully change
the ballot OF any elector by which such
elector is prevented from voting for
such candidate as he intended. shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and upon con-
viction thereof shall be punished by
imprisonment in the county jail for a
period of not exceeding ninety days on
by fine not exceeding three hundred
dollars.
Sec. 4. This act shall take effect and
be in force from and after its publica-
| ton in the official state paper.
| Approyed March 4. 1887.

THERE is to be no more capital pun
ishment in Maine, a bill having become
"A law substituting imprisonment for
life for hanging. The precautions in
the bill against undue leniency are ex-
cellent. and no murderer can be par
doned, unless his innocence should be
proved by convincing testimony not
Forthcoming at his trial. The bill is
almost identical with one passed in
Switzerland some years ago, and which
was repealed in consequence of the
great increase of murders and crimes
| of violence while it was in force. It's
trainers claimed that the increase il
crime was not a consequence of the alb
clifton of legal murder" but the re
suit OF exceptional circumstances. ,
